It took all the smart libertarians too long to recognise the scammy nature of mass immigration. As out of touch as they were, they only perceived the issue as a simple relocation of people from one side of the globe to another (which is acceptable as long as the government does not intervene), whereas in reality, it was always about the coercive transfer of resources from natives to immigrants.
In terms of immigration, what we are dealing with today—in the US and in Europe—is an intentionally state-induced, NGO-abetted, and leftist-approved trauma to society. The state gains from a traumatized society, which becomes more helpless in its opposition to state power. Where state-induced immigration is concerned, trauma is experienced in terms of the robbing of taxpayers; the draining of the treasury; increased crime, drug, and human trafficking; and the insecurity that all these elements, combined, produce in the social order. The immigration crisis is not the result of “the unrestricted movement of human capital” across borders but rather an artificially induced assault on the social body. The “market” for immigration is being dramatically distorted by state interference and financial incentivization.
